Occidental Pinot Noir SWK Vineyard 2016

Inky and mineral-driven, with wild cherry, orange peel and fresh herbs emerging slowly from a core of granite-like concentration. The palate shows impressive density but remains locked down, demanding patience. Built for decades - needs until 2024 to begin showing its true character.

Occidental

Occidental focuses entirely on the extreme western edge of Sonoma Coast, producing single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from fog-belt sites around Freestone, Bodega, and the Sonoma Coast's windward ridges. The wines are structured, cool-climate in character, and built for the cellar.
